Karatedo University admission information
From April 2024, the first students will come to Nanjo City, Okinawa Prefecture to begin a six-month course, so we would like to take this opportunity to recruit students in order to train Japanese karatedo instructors.
The one-year plan includes three joint training per week between the professor and local dojo students, two days for self-learning, one day for exchange activities, a daily diary, and language learning through daily life. (Japanese) For Japanese students, it is possible to study abroad at a dojo in an English-speaking country such as Australia.
*Use the online teaching material KOSHIKI KARATE clip 2013 (youtube.com) and books to study, review, prepare for teaching, etc., and work on dissertation research tasks to improve your understanding of karate, obtain dans, and obtain instructor qualifications. This allows us to provide instruction tailored to individual abilities, even for students from a variety of styles, organization and schools of Karate.
Throughout the year, students independently learn the kata of each style and the representative kata. The joint training sessions and curriculum focus on kumite theory, tactics, and actual combat (Koshiki Karate-do), all of which are learned through physical exercise.
We will also promote understanding of Ryukyu culture and Japanese culture by participating in events that follow the lunar calendar in Okinawa Prefecture, the birthplace of karate. We will also actively participate in karate events held in Okinawa Prefecture, and work together with local communities in Okinawa, the birthplace of karate. It is essential for instructors to live together and learn through experience, like a master’s apprentice, and since wrong Japanese culture and martial arts are spreading all over the world, it is essential for instructors to live together and learn through experience, like a master’s apprentice. It is important and advantageous to stay in Okinawa and learn daily habits.
A 6-day international karate education and cultural exchange training will be held every two months to encourage participation from the 40 countries that are members of the World Koshiki Karatedo Federation, mainly India and China. We are planning hands-on agricultural training, marine training, interaction with animals, etc. mainly in Nanjo City, Okinawa Prefecture, and will promote self-sufficiency, dietary education, and an understanding of the origin of medicine and food, as well as a sense of awe and appreciation for nature. and cultivate a spirit of respect.
